Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I give you and send you one and all, old and young, a Merry Christmas and a truly Happy New Year."

"I do appoint R. B. Paddock, Deputy Administrator of the National Industrial Recovery Act, to represent the Administration, as a member without vote, on the Code Authority for the Toy and Playthings In..."

"I have issued a Christmas Amnesty Proclamation, extending a full pardon to all persons who were convicted of such war-time offenses."

"The effect of this proclamation is to restore to such persons their full civil rights."
